Hmm. And here I was thinking of going 034 EFI on my Urq. I have a possible donor 4.2 as well. If only I had the time...
It's amazing how many V8 owners also own Urq's. We must be gluttons for punishment ;-)
Good luck on the install. Yeah, to have your spring actually break due to rust makes me think the rest of the car isn't too far behind...

Thanks - I have a set of H&R's sitting in the attic, but this has moved up plans for the ultimate demise of the 4.2Q. Can you say 32V 4.2 Ur-Q?

Wow! Never encountered or would have guessed that one! I might have a good set of (used, but clean) front OEM springs from my original V8 from waaay back when if you want. Let me know.

No, no no and no. It took around ten minutes but no jacking - lots of puzzled looking and feeling around....until....wait for it.....
I was roughly under the car, looking for something loose. Everything looked fine, albeit rusty, but I couldn't see anything loose. I was tugging on everything, swearing and trying to figure out the problem. Finally, in desperation, I yanked on the spring, and heard something move. This I found puzzling. I put my hand into the spring perch, and Alakabam! I pulled out three fourths of one coil from my coil spring, which had sheared off. Now, I haven't hit anything, and haven't driven the car in anger in months. Go figure. The car seems unaffected.
No, really, who would have guessed that?

If 10 minutes required, I'd guess you had to jack the car up -- how about a tool left under there somewhere, hitting the spinning driveshaft? Hood prop rod?
